MERIDIAN —
I went to high school in New York with a friend who spent time in the United States Marines infantry during the Vietnam war. He now wears a "man purse" with a 38 special hand gun in it for protection. He needs this because he worked in law enforcement after Vietnam and developed some serious enemies. He likes to call it a "man bag." After he read Lieutenant Colonel Ziemba's February 21 article entitled "The Man Purse," he recalled that Lieutenant Colonel Ziemba said that he had spent his entire life around "real men." My friend responded that while Lieutenant Colonel Ziemba had spent his entire life around "real men," my friend had spent his entire life around "real women!" Don't you just love it!
Most of the North Vietnamese Officers and interrogators that I dealt with also wore "purses," and we all can recall what the Vietnamese did to the United States Army! Beware of men who wear purses!
